CVE-2026-84034
HighCVSS 8.8Summary
IBM Guardium Data Protection 12.2 is vulnerable to a hardcoded credentials vulnerability in the hardware_assess/obstore binaries. A low-privileged authenticated user can recover hardcoded product master secrets, potentially resulting in unauthorized access to the internal database and compromise of sensitive system information.
Risk Assessment
Exposure of hardcoded credentials may allow an attacker to access the internal database and sensitive system information, representing a serious security breach. The flaw is easy to exploit by a low-privileged authenticated user.
Recommendation
Update IBM Guardium Data Protection 12.2 to a patched version and consider rotating the exposed secrets and auditing access to the internal database.
